Kenneth Clarke is Now Our Only Hope of Economic Sanity

I couldn't care less who and what George Osborne is. Why is Kenneth Clarke not Conservative shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer?

Enough is enough of loyalty to this or that person. And enough is enough of rows over whether or not the United Kingdom should be, and how far it should be, involved in the European Union and its currency. This country needs sanity, fiscal and monetary sanity, regardless of Party or loyalties, and it needs it now.

I want to hear Clarke, not Osborne, tomorrow. And I haven't the slightest faith in anyone else to lead us out of the desperate straits we are in.
